Custard Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup shredded coconut (optional for texture)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
   • In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
   • If using, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture.
2. Bake the Muffins:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
   • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Serve:
   • Serve the custard muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack.
